Prayer for Wednesday (Beltane/Samhain)

Today is the Pagan/Wiccan holidays of Beltane (No. Hemisphere) and Samhain (So. Hemisphere.) The five day Zoroastrian festival of Ghambar Maidyozarem and the Mayan Rain Festival continue today.

If we can get to the place where we show up as our genuine selves
and let each other see who we really are,
the awe-inspiring ripple effect will change the world.
~ Terrie M. Williams

Bless, O threefold true and bountiful,
Myself, my spouse, my children.
Bless everything within my dwelling and in my possession,
Bless the kine and crops, the flocks and corn,
From Samhain Eve to Beltane Eve,
With goodly progress and gentle blessing,
From sea to sea, and every river mouth,
From wave to wave, and base of waterfall.

Be the Maiden, Mother, and Crone,
Taking possession of all to me belonging.
Be the Horned God, the Wild Spirit of the Forest,
Protecting me in truth and honor.
Satisfy my soul and shield my loved ones,
Blessing every thing and every one,
All my land and my surroundings.
Great gods who create and bring life to all, I ask for your blessings on this day of fire.

(Based on the Gaelic prayer entitled simply Am Beannachadh Bealltain [The Beltane Blessing])

Prayer for Wednesday (Ostara)

Today is the Pagan/Wiccan holidays of Ostara (No. Hemisphere) and Mabon (So. Hemisphere.) It is also Shunbun no Hi for Japanese Shintos and Buddhists.

Perfect love can never be defeated because it is infinite.
There is only one love and one energy.
When you are feeling it, you are beginning to understand it.
~ Mother Meera

Hail Bright Maiden of quicksilver delight,
shine upon me.
Thy morning blessing, which,
like the new dawn, refreshes my Spirit and
lifts my heart with song.
Blessed Be.

Thanks to Thee Bright Maiden for Thy care,
for green laughter and fire-edged dew,
and for Thy blessing, a most precious jewel.
Blessed Be.

Prayer for Thursday

One cannot comprehend Him through reason,
even if one reasoned for ages.
~ Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Now I lay me down to rest.
I pray that all the world be blest.
Lady Moon and Sister Star
Watch over me from afar.
Mother Earth is always there
And keeps me safe within her care.
The Lord of Dreams will dance and sing
And happy dreams will to me bring.
And when I wake to greet the day
Brother Sun will light my way.

(Kitty Delger)
